WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk, former head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has reignited his feud with President Donald Trump over the controversial "One Big Beautiful Bill."

In a fiery rebuke, Musk blasted what he called “insane spending” and renewed calls for a new political party on Monday, June 30.

Just weeks after issuing a public apology to Trump over their earlier clash on the bill, Musk resumed his criticism of the president’s signature spending plan on Saturday.

This renewed attack comes shortly after Musk floated the idea of launching a new political party, going so far as to endorse a fan’s suggestion to call it the “America Party” in the early days of June.



 

Elon Musk unleashes a wave of criticism at Donald Trump over 'big, beautiful bill'

In a blistering post, Elon Musk wrote, “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” venting his frustration over what he sees as reckless fiscal policy.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that individual judges cannot grant nationwide injunctions to block executive orders, including the injunction on President Trump’s effort to eliminate birthright citizenship in the U.S. The justices did not rule on Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship but stopped his order from taking effect for 30 days.

Doubling down, he called for a political realignment: “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.”

In another pointed post, Musk tagged Representatives Chip Roy (R-TX) and Andy Harris (R-MD), challenging their conservative credentials: “How can you call yourself the Freedom Caucus if you vote for a DEBT SLAVERY bill with the biggest debt ceiling increase in history? @RepAndyHarrisMD @chiproytx.”

He followed up with a warning: “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.”



 

Elon Musk returns to slamming Donald Trump just weeks after signaling a desire to reconcile

Elon Musk has taken an uncompromising stance against the “big, beautiful bill,” igniting a very public and increasingly personal feud with Donald Trump, a man he once helped reelect with over $250 million in campaign donations.

In a scathing post on X, Musk warned that the Senate’s latest version of the bill would "destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!" calling it "utterly insane and destructive."



 

The former DOGE adviser didn’t hold back, accusing the legislation of funneling taxpayer money into “industries of the past” while actively undermining emerging sectors critical to America’s future.

Musk’s dramatic break with Trump began in early June over key provisions in the bill, including rollbacks of electric vehicle tax credits, directly impacting Tesla and other clean-energy ventures, as per Mediaite.

As tensions escalated, the Tesla CEO went beyond policy disputes, even publicly accusing the Trump administration of hiding the so-called Epstein files, a nod to the widely circulated conspiracy theory that government officials suppressed evidence linking high-profile figures, including Trump, to Jeffrey Epstein.

Musk later deleted the tweet and made efforts to de-escalate the situation, signaling a desire to reconcile.



 

Still, the rupture had already widened. Around the same time, Musk floated the idea of launching a third political party.

“Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” he asked his followers in a poll on X, hinting at a growing dissatisfaction not just with Trump, but with the two-party system as a whole.

Internet divided as Elon Musk slams Donald Trump’s spending bill again

After Elon Musk’s fiery post criticizing Donald Trump’s bill gained traction across social media, users quickly jumped in to share their opinions as the feud between Musk and Trump over the legislation intensified.

One said, "It's gonna be hard to form a new party when people are calling general decency a 'woke mind virus' though, right?" and another asked, "Has anyone actually considered lowering the debt ceiling? Has a single member of Congress brought that option up?"

A person bluntly said, "It’s BAD!" while someone who supports deportation of undocumented migrants added, "Unless a third party supports mass deportations, it won’t really matter. People just want their country back."

An individual remarked, "What do you think MAGA has been working so hard to do!?? How insulting!"

A Trump supporter expressed, "This bill literally balances the budget."
